The directions:. Take State Highway 6 north
from Hempstead for about 18 miles to FM 2. Take a right on FM2 and go east for
about 4.2 miles. Turn right on County Road 323 then proceed about 3.0 miles
until County Road 325 intersects CR 323 as CR 323 makes a sharp turn to the
right. Take a left on CR 325 and go about 0.3 miles to the gate to #5347 CR 325.
The cemetery is about 1500 feet south of the road.
I am attaching a picture that shows my great grand father and great grandmother's graves as well as my grand father and grandmothers grave (the double headstone). If you look closely you can see my great granddad's Civil War marker at his feet.
My great grandfather fought at
the Battle of San Jacinto when he was 16
years old and later fought in the second part of the Revolution in
1841-1842
and served as a Captain of the Grimes County Gray's during the Civil War.
His family received one of the Mexican land grants from Stephen F. Austin
The two tall gravestones are
James Bell Stephenson on the left and Malissa Jane (Maxwell) Stephenson on the
right.
The double gravestone in the
front is for Washington Green Harris Jr. and his wife Louisa (Stephenson)
Harris.
